AuthorTopic: How Early Can I Start Sending Out Resumes for 2L Summer? (Read 5418 times)

Too ballsy, and probably a waste of time. By the end of a day that starts early and ends late, full of back to back 20 minute interviews with only a couple of breaks, most of these attorneys/interviewers are exhausted and just ready to get some dinner and go back to their hotel rooms.

I think it's much better to say you'll be in THEIR town, and are interested and available to meet.

If you are concerned about a firm passing you by because you don't know if you made law review yet or not, put on your resume that you competed in the write-on competition. By the time you get an interview, you hopefully will have the results to discuss. The downside, if you don;t make it, you have to explain why.

The problem with sending and then updating a resume is that you may not meet their qualifications without a journal and could get a rejection before you have time to update... If someone's reviewed your resume without a journal, you may get shuffled into a bad pile before you even really have a chance.

Well, I'm feeling lucky not to have this problem now, because I got official notice from my first choice journal yesterday.
